Emasculation<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>I’m just now learning about the days to come
\nWriting on the wall says go away
\nUnderstand I’m not really with you now
\nI’m just chasing an impossible day.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Emasculation, emasculation
\nIs sealing my fate
\npreventing our mating<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh how queasy and sleazy it is to be with you
\nNow how wrong your arms feel around me.
\nI thought I’d flushed those turds just late last night
\nWhen I was so dreading what a fight tonight might be.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Emasculation, emasculation
\nIs sealing my fate
\npreventing our mating<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And tomorrow we should not be together
\nYou love profit, I just know natures way
\nWhen I look into your eyes I know for sure
\nI’ve got to go, cause these are the bad old days.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below are the original lyrics to “Anticipation.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We can never know about the days to come
\nBut we think about them anyway
\nAnd I wonder if Im really with you now
\nOr just chasing after some finer day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anticipation, anticipation
\nIs making me late
\nIs keeping me waiting<\/span><\/p>\n

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
\nAnd how right your arms feel around me.
\nBut I rehearsed those words just late last night
\nWhen I was thinking about how right tonight might be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anticipation, anticipation
\nIs making me late
\nIs keeping me waiting<\/span><\/p>\n

And tomorrow we might not be together
\nIm no prophet, I dont know natures way
\nSo Ill try to see into your eyes right now
\nAnd stay right here, cause these are the good old days.<\/span><\/p>\n
